moochoo Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Well, you have called her Bob! Does she try to mount the other hens? When you say she clucks, is is a cockadoodledoo or just clucking? It could be possible that Bob's a boy but she might be a late developer....any chance of a photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poachedegg Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Miss Pepperpots are only available as females.....so probably just a noisy one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 They are a sex liked breed so the males are identifiable on hatching. She is just noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearcie Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 just seems a long time with no eggs 6 months, do some hens never lay then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I've had a chicken since last June and she's never laid an egg (although her comb/wattles aren't so well developed as the others) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 She's beautiful just a late developer in the egg department. Looks just like Grackle in the head furniture department. Don't know about laying perhaps she has a hormone disorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkmagic Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 A girl I would say, but a masculine looking one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 .....a well developed girl . I hatched a Speckled Sussex who laid at a year old (she only ever laid a couple of eggs then got PTS for a prolapse ). Also one of my young Dottes must have been about 10 months there when she started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Miss Pepperpots are only available as females.....so probably just a noisy one! I didn't know they are sex-linked, suppose it makes sense if Omlet sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 My Miss Pepperpot looks exactly like yours. Huge comb and wattles. Her headgear looks completely different from my other 3 girls and she's a more streamlined skinny bird than the others. But she is definately the most pretty one.

The Dogmother Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 That's not a boy! It's amazing, when you see them all together, how different they can look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Clucks-minusOne Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 She is beautiful. Is a Miss Pepperpot a Blackrock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbey Road Girl Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Forgive me, but I think she looks like the chicken version of Shirley from EastEnders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
